(patty griffin)
Occurred to me the other day
You been gone now a couple years
Well i guess it takes a while
For someone to really disappear
And i remember where i was
When the word came about you
It was a day much like today
The sky was bright and wide and blue
And i wonder where you are
And if the pains ends when you die
And i wonder if there was
Some better way to say good-bye
Today my heart is big and sore
It's trying to put right through my skin
Won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinking in
Cause you can't make somebody see
With the simple words you say
All their beauty from within
Sometimes they just look away
And i wonder where you are
And if the pains ends when you die
And i wonder if there was
Some better way to say good-bye
